Michael Jackson’ iconic red and black “Thriller” jacket, which he wears throughout that song’s video, will be offered to the public during a two-day sale at Julien’s Auctions Gallery in Beverly Hills June 25 and 26.

The jacket, which is autographed by MJ on the sleeve, is expected to fetch between $200,000 and $400,000 dollars at the sale. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Shambala Preserve, where Michael’s two Bengal tigers, Thriller and Sabu, have lived since he left Neverland Ranch in 2006.

The jacket isn’t the only MJ item offered for sale in this auction. One of his stage-worn fedoras is expected to bring two to four thousand bucks, while a wig he wore during the press conference where he announced his This Is It series of concerts, which never took place, is estimated to bring four to six thousand bucks. An original signed sketch is estimated at two to three thousand dollars, and a glove Michael wore at the American Music Awards could bring from 20 to 30 thousand dollars.
